"..."
Sarah's got a companion as she wanders around the base one sunday-a small, bright-eyed boy sitting on her shoulders, who wastes no time in asking about everything.
"Hey, mom, what's that for?" He asks, pointing at a kirby-esque bit of machinery gathering dust in the back of the hangar.
"Neutron Polarizer, it lets you reverse the polarity of the neutron flux." she replies, perfectly deadpan.
"You just made that up!"
"Nope."
Jacob pouts briefly, before pointing over at someone else.
"Hey, mom, who's that? Are they an alien too? Or a demon?"
"...Man, you couldn't have just asked to go to the park, could you..."

Eventually, the appointed time comes, and Sarah and Jacob arrive at the chosen place. Children and their parents are playing in the park, people are walking their dogs, and some college students are playing disc golf. Percival stands some feet away from Sarah, by the side of the road. Seraphina waits in the driver's seat of his car, the engine running.
Sarah motions for Jacob to take his things and go to the car, but he does not move until she gently pushes him on the back. He gets in the car, and soon Seraphina's driving away.
Sarah watches her go, and sighs.
"Man, do we really gotta do this..."

"...!"
This gives Percival some pause, but he still cuts that brick, two halves flying in opposite directions.
"Isn't it better to move on? The past will never return Sarah! It's useless for us to cling to it!"
He focuses ki again - and leaps into the skies!
"Even now I am prepared to deal the finishing hit. Prepare yourself, Sarah!" He starts to fall in a deadly swoop, aimed at you and the broken mess of a building you're in. But that attack took a lot of setup, so there is time to react - and better make it count.

[Sarah shifts her position, moving to be in profile as she faces Percival. The injured ankle ruins her footing, but still, as Percival comes down for the finishing blow she extends her fist-and strikes.]

"Ugh..."
He lands heavily. That probably broke a bone or two... but on the other hand, due to either the last second counter or just Percy not going for killing blows, but the sword only cut your arm. Painful, but not life-threatening... yet.
"Sarah. Do not try to oppose us anymore."
He stands up, not without some difficulty, and starts walking away, leaving the destruction of your duel behind.
"Please."
